My original tires were down to the wear indicators when I had them replaced at 32k miles. I do not corner, brake, or accelerate hard, so that seemed pretty lousy to me, especially factoring in the $94/tire replacement cost. Nuts. I went with an off-brand that's slightly larger size for $48/tire. Much happier. The cornering grip is noticeably improved. The bigger size visually suits the car too.
